My Studio Is Completed! (Earlier than & After)

I can’t imagine it’s lastly accomplished. This room was, by far, my greatest venture but in our home. This was far larger and extra in depth, involving far more DIY initiatives, than even the grasp rest room. And it’s been “in progress” for years. However lastly, and actually as if this morning after I completed portray the door, it’s completed!

I had actually hoped to get the carport cleaned out earlier than taking these “after” photos as a result of the carport is full of stuff and it exhibits by way of the again doorways of the studio. However I made a decision that we’ve all waited far too lengthy as it’s to see this room completed, so I wasn’t keen to delay any longer. So please be so variety as to disregard the view by way of the again doorways. I hope to spend this night and all day tomorrow cleansing that up in order that I can present y’all our completed driveway!! However for now, let’s simply fake that the view out the again studio doorways is attractive, and we’ll deal with what’s contained in the room.

I’ve little or no commentary on this room. I did most of that on this last post the place I walked by way of the timeline of how this room took place. So at this time, I’ll simply present you a number of earlier than photos, and we’ll bounce proper to the after photos and skip all of the in between.

And at this time, that view appears like this…

Sadly, I didn’t take many photographs of the storage after we purchased the home, so the earliest photograph I may discover wanting in direction of the entrance of the room (i.e., standing on the again and searching in direction of the entrance yard) was this one which was taken simply because the transformation was starting, after the storage doorways had been eliminated, and because the concrete perimeter was being crammed in the place the storage doorways had been.

And at this time, that view appears like this…

I actually do remorse not taking extra earlier than photos. Once we purchased the home, the storage didn’t even have drywall. All you possibly can see was the black tar paper, and it felt so darkish and dreary. It is a view of the nook which is now my workplace space of the studio.

So at this time, that space appears like this…

And naturally, because it was a storage, the ground was at floor stage and there have been steps up into the home.

And now, the ground has been raised to be stage with the remainder of the home

Once more, this drywall wasn’t initially there. We added that later, and we additionally eliminated the furnace which had large ducts that crammed the house over the door main inside the home. However that is nonetheless a reasonably good concept of what we began with.

And at this time, that wall of the room appears like this…

That is the one true “earlier than” image I may discover that really has no drywall and nonetheless has the storage doorways.

And that view appears like this at this time…

I can’t imagine it’s completed! I nonetheless have some organizing to do contained in the drawers and cupboards, and I’ll give y’all a peek inside all of these after I’m completed. I’ve the whole lot put away proper now, however I’m nonetheless making some tweaks to how I need issues organized.

Within the meantime, listed here are a number of extra photos of the completed room, introduced with out commentary. Get pleasure from!

In case you’re searching for any of the DIY initiatives that went into this room (the cupboards, the painted flooring, the desk, the tasting spoon pendant gentle, the laminate flooring counter tops, and a lot extra) you can find all of those projects here.

I can’t even imagine it’s accomplished. This room has occupied most of my time and power for the final 12 months, and I felt like I used to be caught in Groundhog Day. Nevertheless it’s accomplished, and I can transfer on. Subsequent up is the carport. Now that we now have a driveway and I’ve a workshop, I have to get the carport cleaned out in order that I can really park a automobile in there.

After that, I’ll begin on the bed room. I’ll begin by putting in the hardwood flooring and getting that stained and sealed, and the transfer on to creating a headboard, making draperies, and adorning that room. After which after that, I’ll transfer on to the closet and laundry space. So there are some thrilling issues arising! However fairly actually, I may additionally spend fairly a little bit of time over the following few days simply sitting in my studio and having fun with the completed room. It’s such a colourful, completely happy house, and I can’t wait to spend time in right here being artistic!
